Delinquent

Property owners are required to pay their property taxes on time. If an owner fails to pay on time, the unpaid portion will be considered delinquent and incur a 10% penalty charge and, in the case of second installment, a one-time administrative fee.

Tax Default / Redemption

Tax Default / Redemption

If a bill remains delinquent through the end of the fiscal year (June 30th), the bill is considered tax-defaulted. Tax-defaulted properties transfer to the redemption tax roll where they continue to accrue 1.5% of the original delinquent tax amount (18 percent per year) until the balance is paid in full. In addition, there is a one-time redemption fee.

Taxpayers, who are not in power to sell status, may request an installment payment plan to pay defaulted taxes over a five-year period. There are (2) requirements that must be met prior to initiating an installment plan:

Power to Sell

Property that remains in tax-defaulted status for five or more years will become subject to the Tax Collector's power to sell. Once subject to power to sell, it will be notated on the Delinquent Property Tax Statement and the property may be sold at public auction or otherwise conveyed to new ownership. The power to sell status may be avoided by initiating and maintaining an installment plan within the first five years of default, or by completely redeeming the property through payment of all unpaid amounts together with penalties and fees before the subject property is sold. Properties that are subject to "Power to Sell" are not eligible for payment plans.
